Exception using diff on branch - Vault version 6.1.0.

[peter.zalevski]

Testing the branch functionality I received this error on doing a diff on the files in the branch.

Exception of type 'VaultClientOperationsLib.GetLatestVersionFailedException' was thrown.


Here are the steps to reproduce.
1. Create new folder called "Original" and file "code.cs"
2. Change code.csv and check-in. repeating again for a 2nd change/check-in
3. Branch "Original" folder to a new folder called "New branch"
4. Go to folder for "New branch" and for file code.cs, show history, then choose diff. The above exception will appear.

I wasn't able to reproduce this.

show history, then choose diff.

What diff options are you using? Are you diffing two historical versions of code.cs?

Did you change the name of the file, or is this a typo:

Change code.csv and check-in.

Are there any errors in the the Vault Server log when you experience the error?

The Vault server log is called sgvault.log and is in %windir%\temp\sgvault on the server machine.

[peter.zalevski]

Correct that was a typo.

There is nothing logged in sgvault.log in the server.

In the history it fails immediately after right click, diff. See attached screen capture in case I'm not clear.
Something else I noticed is that it fails doing the diff on the versions (3 for example) before the branch (version 4). But it works for the updates after the branch (version 6)

My support case on this issue is 226328 and it resulted in bug 1345.

"Basically, you can't diff historical version from before the branch against the repository or the working folder."

This was Bug 13450 -- (typo in my email to you, Greg) and is still open. I've added your comments.

Was this ever resolved, I'm having this exact problem running Vault Professional 7.1.0 (32028)
